Rx for cysts?

I had to sit out this month after my first round of follistim w/ IUI (BFN) because of cysts (follicles that were still stimulated). My dr told me my body would absorb them naturally. However, I have seen (on this forum) many people who have taken bc pills to shrink them.

I am worried that without any intervention I will have to sit out again next month. Has anyone else had this experience? Is there anything I can do to reduce the cysts? Any advice, suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Unfortunately, I had to sit a couple rounds out because my cysts wouldn't go away. That would be great if you could take something to shrink them but my RE never informed me of anything. I just took BCPs to prevent any more from forming!!! I hope there is something out there! Let me know if you find something out.

oh sister you are me two months ago. I didnt have follistim but I did have clomid. The first month the clomid had cause a cyst and because of the cyst I could not take another round of clomid. The doc said the the cyst could go away on its own or I could take birth control to make sure it went away. Well because there was a chance that I could concieve on my own ( even though it hasnt worked for the last five years) so I choose to not take the birth control. Well I went back this month and had another cyst so agian I coudnt take the clomid but this time I did take the birth control. So I guess my advice would be to do the birth control it will give you a better chance of being able to move on with your baby work instead of being at a stand still. Hope this helped.
